Trekker 42 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Well that explains why the hell they made that Magneto for the 90s boxset! They couldn't think of anywhere else to stick them and wanted someone to compliment these guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nessex Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Don't know if I'm posting this in the right place or if any one noticed this before, But I just bought my ticket for NY Comic-con and i notice under the AFX booth the mentioned the AOA minimates ans a NEW MUTANTS BOX SET !!!! including Sunspot and Karma, Cannonball and Wolfsbane! *Chokes on sandwich* Classic New Mutants? WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT! Most Awesome! Glad to see Karma got picked. I guess she's the 'Never gonna happen' minimate (see: warpath, jewel, valkyrie etc. . . ) Here's hoping she comes with both an alternate Power's Effect hairpiece & a giant XMOW blob-style fat-suit. now we would just need a Danni Moonstar, Cypher, Warlock and Magik to make me super happy. I love me some classic New Mutants. Agreed, agreed, agreed! Somehow a set with just those 4 seems less than likely Here's hoping i'm underestimating the popularity of Magik & Warlock and DST proves me wrong!

Lobsterman Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Warlock is one of my all time dream minmates. I reeeeally hope there's a TRU two pack follow up... Dang, man, NY is owning SD as far as exclusives go! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
binx17 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Man that is awesome, I cant wait to get that sunfire minimate as well. This is going to be the first comic con I've ever been to, do you guys have any tips or anything for making sure I get all the exclusive mates that I can, I just dont want to miss out ya know.

PANTHRO504 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 NYCC will also be my first, so i was super stoked to see that exclusive. Still can't believe Karma get's a minimate before Magik and Warlock "Here's hoping she comes with both an alternate Power's Effect hairpiece & a giant XMOW blob-style fat-suit" LMFAO I totally forgot about her obese storyline, i thought she wouldn't even make it pass this year's "second coming" ' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke314pi Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 As much as I hate to say this, I hope we get a TRU tie-in pack so we can round out the team some more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyd Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 As much as I hate to say this, I hope we get a TRU tie-in pack so we can round out the team some more. I'm wondering if that's why we haven't had any news on new TRU waves lately - didn't want to spoil the surprise?... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shanezey Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Jeepers mister! They really are feeding my X-men 'Mate addiction lately. Lots of new characters. My big wants for this set are Sunfire and Cannonball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MST3KFan Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) New Mutants = Do WANT. Now if they'll give us a 90s Colossus/Forge to complete the 90s teams before moving fully onto AoA and New Mutants/80s X-Men....

Chazwinski Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Definitely want The New Mutants! Sad that Illyana didn't make the cut though. DST has been great at listening to us, though. This is soooo much cooler to me than Liefeld's X-Force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karamazov80 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I don't think these will be big sellers, but I'll buy them for sure. Be nice if Warlock was included, to give the set a bit more character. I guess Sunspot and Wolfsbane will be in their transformed states, though. I am a bit surprised that DST aren't going after Alpha Flight first, though. The characters look more distinctive, and are probably more recognizable. I guess it's because they are Canadian. Now that I think about it, DST is doing the right thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Nice catch, I loved the New Mutants comic way back when. I hope these turn out well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
groundhog7s Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) What'd be sweet is if we get a Minimate version of the cover to NM #1 on the back of the package. Edited August 9, 2010 by groundhog7s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRGMann Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I am a bit surprised that DST aren't going after Alpha Flight first, though. The characters look more distinctive, and are probably more recognizable. I guess it'll depend on how these are executed: I'll be somewhat disappointed if these are new heads on Classic X-Men bodies. Wolfsbane? Classic Jean Grey, Phoenix variant hair sans ponytail...blah! Let's get the Liefield costumes (yeah, I said it) for Cannonball and Sunspot, at least.

buttheadsmate Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 "Where's Alpha Flight?" was asked of Chuck at the SDCC Panel. Chuck repied "........ how many Canadians in the room ?" It was a good-hearted comment & he added that Alpha Flight often gets discussed but just as often gets put on the back-burner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARuloff Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) I am so gonna be broke for the rest of the year if they keep making X-Mates. I still have to catch up on the last few waves. Damn you DST! I kid, I kid, I love all off those new Mates! Edited August 9, 2010 by ARuloff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
battlecat Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I guess Sunspot and Wolfsbane will be in their transformed states, though. If these are First Appearance mates, Wolfsbane's original transformed state was full-on wolf, or creepy deformed in-between state. I can't remember when she started turning into a uniformed wolf-girl, by the time she was in X-Factor (which is the version I'd love to see) anyways... "Where's Alpha Flight?" was asked of Chuck at the SDCC Panel. Chuck repied "........ how many Canadians in the room ?" If you count Wolverine Minimates, there were likely a lot of us there....

Lobsterman Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 (edited) That's a good point. I wonder if we're getting a full-on wolf minimate a la Lockjaw?... Because that would be ah may zing! Edited August 9, 2010 by Lobsterman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRGMann Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I believe the first time she turned into a werewolf-looking version was when Bill Seinkevicz started drawing the book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember when she started turning into a uniformed wolf-girl, by the time she was in X-Factor (which is the version I'd love to see) anyways... Her early appearances showed her as a full wolf when transformed. This is the version i'd most like to see as it would fit the 'New Mutants' period better - however i suspect we'll see something a bit more like her X-Factor look: so that DST can re-use the Beast/Feral hair-piece and a get a little more value from it. I'll be REALLY stoked if they can pull of a 'Terror Dog' - Have a full wolf with pieces underneath to make a costumed un-morphed Rahne. I'd love to see 90's Wolfsbane too - btu i'd rather see her along side her X-Factor chums than mistakenly added to this set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
